Disney+ Discontinues 4K and HDR Streaming in Germany
Disney+ has removed 4K and HDR streaming capabilities in Germany, affecting all subscription tiers, including the premium plan.
As of the recent weekend, Disney+ subscribers in Germany can only access content in 1080p and SDR, regardless of their subscription level. This change has prompted the Verbraucherzentrale Niedersachsen to consider legal action, as the platform continues to advertise 4K capabilities. The removal of HDR formats follows a protracted patent dispute with InterDigital, which has previously led to the withdrawal of various HDR technologies from the service. Legal experts assert that Disney is obligated to deliver the quality promised in its subscription agreements.
